\"\"<\/a>The November General Election<\/strong> ballot is becoming clearer as the deadline for petitions has arrived.<\/p>\n

The Chautauqua County Board of Elections’<\/strong> website at votechautauqua.com<\/a> provides the information who has filed petitions to run in the November 7 elections.<\/p>\n

Some new names are in the filing, including Jamestown Democrat Travis Knight<\/strong>, who has filed to run against Republican incumbent Brent Sheldon<\/strong> for City Council<\/strong> Ward 1.<\/p>\n

In County Legislature<\/strong> filings, Democrat Bob Whitney<\/strong> has filed petitions for another rematch against Republican Incumbent Dave Wilfong<\/strong> in Legislative District 11.<\/p>\n

Republican incumbent Lisa Vanstrom<\/strong> in District 15 will be facing Democrat Kurt Gustafson.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marcus Buchanan<\/strong> has filed petitions for the Democrat, Conservative, and Working Families lines to run against Republican Incumbent Kevin Muldowney<\/strong> in District 1.<\/p>\n

Democratic incumbent Bob Bankoski<\/strong> will face Republican Dennis Welka<\/strong> in District 2.<\/p>\n

Republican incumbent Bob Scudder<\/strong> will have an opponent with Democrat Nevin Ecklund<\/strong> submitting petitions for District 3.<\/p>\n

A couple Republican incumbents in the County Legislature appear to have decided not to seek re-election. This includes Legislative District 16 representative John Davis<\/strong> and Legislative District 19 representative John Hemmer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The candidates who have submitted petitions for those districts include Republican Dalton Anthony<\/strong> in District 16, and Republican Fred Johnson Sr.<\/strong> and Democrat Braiden McElhaney<\/strong> in District 19.<\/p>\n

April 10 was the last day to file petitions for the primary.<\/p>\n

April 18 is the last day to fill a vacancy after a candidate has declined to run with April 24 being the last day to authorize a substitution after a candidate declines to run.<\/p>\n

April 18 is also the first day for folks seeking signatures for independent, or third party, petitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
